Education is important because it is an indicator of what direction you want to take later in life. It’s important to have dreams before and during high school in order to set goals and establish a guiding force for the future. Education is one of the many powerful keys for a successful life. In my instance, after I finish middle and high school I am going to law school to become a lawyer. I especially want to be a defense attorney, or D.A. Eventually, becoming president of the United States is a huge goal of mine and I believe education is an important factor in my future.
